BACKGROUND: Pediatric cancer diagnosis and treatment reduce Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL). The Pediatric Quality of Life (PedsQL) Cancer Module is the most commonly used cancer specific HRQoL instrument, but most studies included relatively small cohorts and no reference scores are available. The development of a PedsQL Cancer Module benchmark, based on a large population of pediatric can

We study an information design problem to reduce congestion in transportation networks. In presence of an uncertain network state, the central planner may sends private signals to the users, with the goal of steering the user equilibrium towards the system optimum flow. We consider private signals and provide sufficient conditions under which optimality may be achieved by information provision in

We deal with a control problem for a complex social network in which each agent has an action and an opinion, evolving according to a coevolutionary model. In particular, we consider a scenario in which a committed minority - a set of stubborn nodes - aims to steer a population, initially at a consensus, to a different consensus state. Our study focuses on determining the conditions under which su

The interactions between aerosols and clouds are still one of the largest sources of uncertainty in quantifying anthropogenic radiative forcing. To reduce this uncertainty, we must first determine the baseline natural aerosol loading for different environments. In the pristine and hardly accessible polar regions, the exact nature of local aerosol sources remains poorly understood. It is unclear ho

Here we reassess available evidence for the long-held misconception of amoebae possessing exceptionally large genomes. Traditionally, estimates relied on inaccurate methods like DNA weight measurements, leading to inflated sizes. These methods failed to account for contaminating DNA from prey, endosymbionts, and intrinsic genomic features like ribosomal operon amplification. Modern sequencing tech

Continuity of care represents a concept of paramount importance in territorial healthcare and notably in general practice. It is a concept focused on three main dimensions, namely informational, relational, and managerial continuity. It may impact on outcomes of older patients and older frail patients, even in patients pertaining to the surgery setting. An Italian model and a French model for cont

Competitive pressure is an important driving factor of corporate behavioural changes. Yet, it is still unclear how it influences corporate attitudes towards environmental challenges. In this study, we systematically analyse the sustainability behaviour of a global sample of publicly traded firms to examine if and how competitive pressure pushes them to implement effective behavioural changes to re

Sweden did not follow the same route that most other European countries embarked on in the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. When other countries closed as a response to the spread of the virus, Sweden decided not to impose a full lockdown. Rather, Sweden kept a large part of society open, such as keeping schools for children and bars and restaurants open, albeit with some restrictions. The focus

This research monograph explores new frontiers in Markov chains. Although time-homogeneous Markov chains are well understood, this is not at all the case with time-inhomogeneous ones. The book, after a review on the classical theory of homogeneous chains, including the electrical network approach, introduces several new models which involve inhomogeneous chains as well as related new types of rand

Ouvertyren till operetten Candide, Anders Eliassons fjärde symfoni och Beethovens Kejsarkonsert är stycken som vitt skiljer sig från varandra på pappret, men som på något märkligt sätt passar ihop. Det här programmet är livfullt, festligt och bedövande vackert.Håkan Hardenberger har besökt MSO tidigare i höst för att spela Daniel Börtz Trumpetkonsert, men denna kväll dirigerar han

Background: Long-term survival after lung transplantation is significantly shorter compared with other solid organ transplantations. Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), including bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), remains the major barrier to survival. CLAD is diagnosed according to ISHLT's guidelines: a 20% drop in FEV1 using spirometry for CLAD grade 1. Given the difficulties of con

Bokhandlaren och boråsprofilen John Wold (1863-1942) efterlämnade vid sin död ett värdefullt bibliotek som förvaras hos ordenssällskapet Tempel Riddare Orden i Borås. Innehållet domineras av Wolds två stora intressen: nykterhetsfrågan och ordensväsende. I boken presenteras boksamlingen med ambitionen att i stora drag belysa både dess innehåll och det historiska sammanhang den tillkommit i.

Forskning visar att läkemedelsreklam kan vara vilseledande. Därför borde Läkartidningen göra som sin danska systertidning: tacka nej till industrins annonser.

Hydrogen-based steelmaking using green hydrogen can achieve above 95 % CO2 emission reductions. Low-cost renewable electricity is a prerequisite and research has found that access to renewable energy resources could pull energy-intensive industry to new locations, the “renewables pull”-effect. However, previous studies on hydrogen-based steel differ on key assumptions and analyse a wide range of e
